A vicious female is trapped in a beastly hell.

Chapter 103 Strange Favorability (Bonus Chapter for Donations)

Shen Li's favorability bar.

It neither went up nor down.

strangeness.

Why didn't it move?
Shen Tang was completely baffled. She had tried so hard to seduce him, but his favorability rating hadn't changed at all.

They didn't end up together, but they kissed and hugged... They can't just leave without gaining any affection at all, right?

Even if Shen Li was annoyed by the stinky leopard in the end, the worst that could happen was a slight decrease in favorability; she couldn't just stand there like a stone.

Shen Tang frowned. She had thought that her hard work today would surely raise that sly fox's favorability to "like" him, but it seemed as if she was being suppressed by some force.

So weird.

Could it be that Shen Li really has no feelings for her?
Judging from his behavior tonight... it doesn't seem like it.
Shen Tang was completely bewildered. "System, what's going on? Is there something wrong with your favorability bar?"

The system said, "I'm not entirely sure about this either; you'll need to figure it out yourself."

Since Shen Tang couldn't get any useful information from the system, she simply put the matter out of her mind.

She was in heat and didn't want to have much contact with Xiao Jin and the others for the time being, so she tried to avoid them as much as possible.

The system, exasperated, commented: "The female's estrus period is a prime opportunity to lure males. If you use it well, you could easily win over all four of them, let alone just one!"

Shen Tang's lips twitched slightly. "They are beastmen, not animals that only know how to reproduce. If the scent of females in heat could make them lose their minds, they would have run away long ago, given the abundance of females on the streets."

The system was speechless.

Shen Tang gave a plausible reason, but in reality, she was a little scared. What if she got pregnant?

She wasn't prepared.

The background of this world is that, due to the expansion of the contaminated zone, even in ordinary areas outside the contaminated zone, tiny pollutant molecules float in the air, and the bodies of orcs are more or less contaminated, resulting in a decline in fertility.

Shen Tang had acted recklessly the first two times and hadn't considered this matter at all.

But when the system mentioned that estrus increases the chances of a female getting pregnant, she became a little scared.

In the beast world, both males and females are eager to have offspring, and there are virtually no contraceptive measures.

She'll have to wait until her heat cycle is over before doing any missions.

Shen Tang thought the cured meat in the yard was almost done drying and was about to go out to check when she caught sight of a group of animal cubs lingering at the door.

A black bear cub came to the rack where cured meat was drying and stretched out its paw to grab it, but the cured meat was hanging too high for it to reach.

Shen Tang burst out laughing.

When the cubs saw her coming, they quickly retracted their claws and sat up straight.

A small orange tiger cub tiptoed over and timidly called out, "Sister Shen Tang, we don't want to steal food."

"Yes, you didn't want to steal the food, you just wanted to sneak a couple of bites, right?" Shen Tang said with a smile.

The cubs scratched their embarrassed, furry faces. It was fortunate that they hadn't transformed into human form yet, otherwise their faces would have turned completely red.

"Alright, we can't finish it all anyway, so it was meant to be shared with you anyway." Shen Tang untied a string of cured meat from the shelf, cut it into small pieces, put it on a plate, and placed it on the ground.

The cubs scrambled to grab it.

The cubs are young and their minds are simple; all they think about is food.

If you give them delicious food, their affection level will increase rapidly.

After spending these days together, the beast cubs are no longer so afraid of Shen Tang. Some even call her "sister" in a sweet voice, which is incredibly cute.

Shen Tang would often give them an extra piece of meat to eat.

Shen Tang had identified most of the stray animal cubs. The leader, a tiger cub, was the strongest and roundest, and his name was Amang.

Its father died during a hunt. Its mother and new mate had a child, but they didn't care for it, so it grew up eating food from various families in the city. The weakest wolf cub was orphaned after birth and had no name. Shen Tang saw that it was thin and pitiful, so she named it Fatty, hoping it would eat more meat and grow fatter.

Lu Xiao walked over and saw Shen Tang squatting at the door, playing with the cubs.

A gentle smile appeared on his usually stern face.

As he strode closer, he smelled the rich scent of blood emanating from Shen Tang, mixed with an indescribable sweetness.

He paused for a moment, then quickly realized what it was. A hint of unease appeared on his handsome face, but he managed to hide his emotions well.

Hearing steady footsteps behind her, Shen Tang turned around and saw that Lu Xiao had returned. She smiled and said, "It's perfect that you're back. Help me cook some stir-fried cured pork."

“Okay.” Lu Xiao took off his coat and went to the kitchen.

The chubby tiger cub, Amang, rolled over on the ground, revealing his furry belly.

Shen Tang stretched out a finger and gently scratched its belly. When it touched the ticklish spot, it squealed and howled.

She was having a great time when a system notification suddenly popped into her head.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have triggered a limited-time scenario mission: Touch Lu Xiao's chest muscles while he's cooking in an apron. Reward: Food preservation package!]

Shen Tang's lips twitched slightly. "System, you're getting more and more perverted."

[Host, please remember my system role. I'm just following the rules.] The system said seriously.

Shen Tang was too lazy to pay attention to this lecherous system.

Then, suddenly remembering the reward it mentioned, I asked curiously, "What's a food preservation bag?"

"It means exactly what it says; it allows food to stay in its original fresh state for a long time," the system explained. "Doesn't the host often store food in the quantum brain space? But most of what's stored in the quantum brain space is inanimate matter, which doesn't preserve food. It usually spoils within a few days. As long as the host throws a food preservation packet in there, no matter how long it takes, the food will remain in its original fresh state."

Shen Tang was surprised. This little gadget sounded useless, but it was actually quite useful.

She does often store food in her computer space, but the food usually spoils within two days. Even dried meat and cured meat don't keep for long and must be eaten as soon as possible. Otherwise, it's a waste to throw them away.

Shen Tang's mind raced, and she realized that this task wasn't impossible to do, since she had done even more outrageous ones before.

A man as emotionally stable as Lu Xiao would never kill her.

Shen Tang turned and went to the kitchen.

When Lu Xiao saw her come in, he raised an eyebrow slightly. "What brings you here?"

"I'll come and help. I can't just watch you busy in the kitchen all by yourself," Shen Tang said with a grin as she moved closer.

Lu Xiao caught another whiff of her rich, sweet scent, his eyes darkened slightly, and he took a half step back, saying calmly, "You go and rest first, I'll take care of it."

No, how can she complete the task if she rests?

Shen Tang insisted on staying, and Lu Xiao didn't ask her to leave.

The two often worked together in the kitchen and cooperated very well.

Shen Tang deliberately moved very close, and when she handed Lu Xiao the pepper powder, her fingertips lightly brushed across his chest, as if it were an unintentional gesture.

She sighed inwardly: I can't believe it, Lu Xiao's pectoral muscles seem even fuller and more solid than Xiao Jin's.

Lu Xiao remained calm, seemingly unaware of her sneaky little touches, though a faint blush rose to his ears.

The two were too close, and he could smell the overly sweet and rich scent emanating from Shen Tang, which directly attacked his masculine instincts.

His eyes darkened slightly.

Was she... seducing him?

Not far away, Xue Yinzhou appeared outside the door, his gaze falling on Shen Tang.
